About Tarigri Sharif

Tarigri Sharif is situated in Daska Tehsil of Sialkot District, Punjab Province, Pakistan (Coordinates 32°21′10″N 74°29′01″E). It rests in the northeastern part of Punjab, approximately 13 km northeast of Daska and 16 km southwest of Sialkot.

Nestled in the flat alluvial plains of the Rechna Doab region, the village sits at an elevation of 250 meters. The nearby Marala-Ravi Link Canal and Chenab River have historically shaped its lush, agricultural landscape.

Originating as a modest hamlet under Sikh rule in the early 19th century, Tarigri transitioned into a thriving settled farming community following the British introduction of the Upper Bari Doab Canal system.

Following the 1947 Partition of India, the demographic makeup was further enriched by migrating Muslim families. Today, the village is home to a devout Sunni Muslim population predominantly featuring Jats, Arains, and Gujjars communities, deeply intertwined with the region's Sufi traditions.

The Darbar-e-Aliya Ghousiya is a monumental Sufi shrine directly associated with the revered Qadri Sufi order, tracing its spiritual lineage back to Shaikh Abdul Qadir Jilani.

Renowned for its traditional Punjabi architecture encompassing breathtaking domes, wide courtyards, and intricate tilework, the complex preserves the tombs (mazars) of seven Wali Allah saints. The central figure remains the illustrious Hazrat Ali Muhammad Sarkar.

Through generations of hereditary khadims, the shrine continues to champion the teachings of Tawhid (the unity of God) and selfless community service. It remains a vibrant center for dhikr gatherings, daily prayers, and its legendary langar facilities offering free communal meals to thousands of devoted pilgrims seeking blessings.
